VS 2008-deployment-launch conditions-link to framework 3.5

Question

I need an advice with the link to framework 3.5 in launch conditions during creating the MSI instalation file.

There is the link I have there now:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76617

but of course this one leads to the latest version which is currently 4.0

my application needs version 3.5 in order to run. I thought the versions are compatible and the last one can do what the previous can do but I have information from my customers that it's not true. It doesn't work after instalation the 4.0 version but after
they install the 3.5 version it works!

If I click the link for 3.5 version ont the site it looks like this (I am in Czech republic):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/cs-cz/netframework/cc378097%28en-us%29.aspx

but of course I cannot put this link into the aplication, there is the nation code and my application is sold mainly in the States.

I would like similar link to the previous one which leads to .NET Framework 3.5.
